Amelia Beckett is delighted to be
a widow. Married by proxy to a man she’d never met, Amelia recognizes
that a fortuitous entry into widowhood frees her from meddlesome
chaperones and matchmakers. Heiress to her mother’s sugar plantation in
Jamaica, she happily anticipates working in a man’s world, with the
additional credibility of her new title: Lady Lockwood. But with the
arrival of Captain Sir William Drake, her plans quickly go awry . . .
William has traversed the Atlantic with one purpose. If he cannot prove
that Amelia’s marriage to his brother was a fraud, she will be entitled
to a sizeable portion of his family’s estate. He is determined to return
this duplicitous Lady to London for an official hearing, and he carries
with him a letter that will ensure her cooperation . . . Left with no
choice, Amelia joins the captain on his return voyage to England, and
the two quickly find that ship life does not allow for evasion. Amelia
and William are ceaselessly thrown together, and amidst fierce storms
and ocean battles, what began as antipathy seems to be evolving quite
unexpectedly. But as they draw ever closer to their destination, will
the impossibility of their circumstances shatter any hope of a future
together?

“Moore does a lovely job of showcasing sizzle in this must-read for fans of regency and historical romance.”

~ Foreword Reviews

William
placed his right hand on the small of her back and pulled gently with
his left hand, leading her in a simple series of steps, which she
quickly mastered. She focused her eyes on the captain’s shoulder where
her hand rested tentatively. He moved lightly, but her movements were
stiff. She was afraid of relaxing when he was practically holding her in
his arms.

After a few turns around the room, Amelia felt her
tension ease. The music was beautiful, and Captain Drake had a way of
drawing her across the floor as if she was floating. When she finally
braved a glance at his face, she met his eyes, and her nervousness
returned.

“And is your punishment so dreadful, Miss Becket?” he asked. “I have yet to see you smile.” Amelia allowed herself a small smile. “It is a very nice punishment indeed, sir. Is it one you utilize regularly?”

“Perhaps I shall, if you believe it will keep the men in line.” Amelia laughed. “I do not know what they would think if you waltzed with each sailor who failed in his duty.”

“I
imagine it should be quite effective at discouraging rule breaking,
don’t you?” William looked thoughtful, as if considering the idea.

“Perhaps.
Until some of the men develop a taste for waltzing. You might begin to
worry when the same men continually require discipline.”

William laughed. Amelia had only heard his laugh a very few times and
found she quite liked it. Especially knowing she was the one who had
inspired it. She also realized that the sound had caused her heart to
trip ever so slightly, and to her dismay, she found that she quite liked
that as well. She lowered her eyes, suddenly finding the gold buttons
on the captain’s coat fascinating. She was extremely aware of the
captain’s arm, the way it wrapped around her, and his hand resting on
her lower back. The hand that held hers was strong, and she felt each
movement of his fingers and the subtle tightening around her own hand.
And had he always had such a pleasant smell?
